Hi, noob here. Missing M64 music metadata

[jello2545]

Hi There,

Launchbox newbie here (but veteran IT). First of all this is my new favorite frontend for pretty much everything that has to do with launching something (you dont say !).

Small issue: I have multiple platform and theme music from my games were downloaded autotmatically from different sources (including Emumovies). Issue is for N64 platforme, 0 music, none.

Question1: Where are theme song (from selection screen when you hover a game and the theme start playing) downloaded from ? Is it EmuMovies ?
Question2: Is it just a normal issue and there is no actual providers for N64 games ?

Thank you very much for your time.

Question 1: LB only pulls from LB database, Wikipedia, and EmuMovies. If they have them available for the platform/games it would be downloaded or an option to download when you edit a game.

Question 2: Could be normal. The music files would only be there if someone uploaded them. I just checked the EmuMovies FTP and in the official folders there are no N64 music files. But in the member uploads there are some members who uploaded N64 soundtracks. I do not know how LB pulls from EmuMovies if it is from the official FTP folders only or from any folders that are in the FTP structure.

Hi Retro808,

Thanks for your reply, will look into the member uploads.

I just find it weird that music files for nes/snes are all there but for N64 (which is in my opinion the most popular platform) there is not a single music file.

I will have to do some manual work here

Thanks.

Yeah I believe Launchbox uses a API and pulls from the FTP, so if there is nothing there it won't be downloaded in Launchbox.
